The DBU, RBU, etc. are overused but helps recruiting and serve a purpose. I think we should also be known as Nickname U. Some examples: Pistol Pete (and the 'PMAC') Honey Badger Big Baby Chinese Bandits Death Valley (even our stadium has a great nickname) Shaq (more nicknames than any athlete ever? Although many self proclaimed). Nacho Albergamo Cecil the Diesel (only played a handful of games but fitting nickname) John "Hot Plate" Williams (if I remember that one correctly, reference to his weight and also Hot Rod Williams). Jerry Ice Reynolds Buga
Mad hatter Lil napoleon Curly bout crazy Cholly Mac Dale ass picker brown Pepsodent Paul I think it was? Pretty sure this happens at all programs however. Hi c Cookie man Jordan Jefferson jr And on and on
Everytime I see his name I get the same look on my face he gave everytime he fucked up which was almost every play. I swear the most embarrassing moment of being an LSU fan was when that dumbass said Thomas Jefferson was George Jefferson on ESPN. And he was serious too. We had a guy start for 3 seasons at the most critical role in the field that didn't know the difference between the 3rd President of the United States and a ranting and raving bald black man on television. I'm sorry but this is one thing I'll never be able to forgive Les Miles for, playing his intellectual equivalent at qb for so long.
Dude I swear ESPN ran a picture of Sherman Helmsley wearing one of those curly white wigs after he did that. Funniest damn thing, wish I could find it.
Wasn't this the QB that got us to the NC against bumma, and led us to one of the best seasons in our history? Lee was JJs fluffer early, but when things got tough the coaches trusted JJ to lead the team to almost all-time greatness.
